Last week, students in grades kindergarten through 5 at Stuart Country Day School of the Sacred Heart worked together, using the power of their imaginations, to design and engineer arcade games out of cardboard and recycled materials.

Building the games reinforced spatial awareness, innovation, experimentation and exploration.

Inspired by the short documentary Caine’s Arcade, the Stuart girls set up their arcade to participate in the Global Cardboard Challenge Day of Play.

Excitement filled the air as the students shared their games with eager participants. Stuart shared the fun on Facebook and Twitter where Caine’s Arcade film director Nirvan Mullik posted and re-tweeted, “Awesome!”
